T-cell transduction and culture
We offer a complete suite of tools for T-cell culture, expansion, and transduction. LymphoOne medium supports efficient T-cell proliferation with or without the addition of human serum or plasma. You can reduce the risk of both culture contamination and user infection with our CultiLife cell culture bags, which are gas-permeable, transparent culture bags that provide a sterile, closed system for growing cells.
